Indie artist Paris Heart, a rising star and author from New York, has found his happy place, living in Maine. We sat down with him to learn how he followed his heart and became a talented artist, attracting hundreds of thousands of followers on social media. From the wins to the challenges, Paris gets real about it all with mainelove's Jeannie Assimos. 

In 2021, Paris released “No Name,” a debut single that confronts social issues with candid lyrical storytelling. His most recent EP, Search for Me, weaves together moody synth-pop, alt-rock grit, and heartfelt introspection—highlighting tracks like the stream-worthy “Coupe De Ville” and the atmospheric finale “Search for Me.” Through soulful melodies, genre-blurring soundscapes, and deeply personal themes like isolation and identity. 

Paris has also added published author to his impressive roster of work. His first psychological thriller novel, The Company We Keep,  is available September 24. 

Welcome to Living Your mainelove — the podcast where we celebrate the people, places, and passions that make Maine so magical.

Today, we’re diving into something close to our hearts. Our founder and CEO, Jen Millard, is joined by Paul Hunt, Environmental Manager from the Portland Water District, for a conversation that flows right to the source: Sebago Lake — the incredible water inside every can of mainelove.

They’ll talk about what makes this lake so special, how the Portland Water District keeps it pure, and why clean water isn't just a Maine treasure — it’s a responsibility, a privilege, and a love story of its own.

Whether you’ve sipped mainelove at a festival or opened a can during your afternoon hike, this episode will give you a new appreciation for what’s inside — and the people protecting it.

Let’s get into it!
